ACCO-NET system

The ACCO-NET system is SATEL’s major step forward in the area of advanced access control systems. ACCO-NET is a modular solution based on IP communication which allows to adapt system capabilities for current needs of organisations implementing the solutions. Basic elements of the ACCO-NET system structure are door controllers interconnected by a local RS-485 network. Such a controller network is connected to the ACCO-NET network interface responsible for IP communication with the access control system. The heart of the system is its access control server which enables centralised control over connected controller networks. Communication between access controller network interfaces and the central server is based on TCP/IP protocol. The ACCO-NET system allows for implementation of advanced functionalities, for example to define specific access control zones with multiple entry/exit routes and specific access route combined with time constraints. Extensive access schedule definition functionalities allow to define access rules for specific users, with regard to the time of day and period within a year. System configuration is carried out using ACCO-SOFT software which communicates with the system via the central server which is intended for the system fitter who defines operating regime for entire access control network within certain organisation.
